Beiyin Great Sage

  Chapter 440 Southern District

  The inner city where the resident is located was originally an isolated island, but now the surrounding waters are all frozen, and it has become a natural ice city.

  With the frozen waters as the boundary, a hundred miles outside is the hunting ground of the inner city. All the exotic animals within this range belong to the food raised in captivity in the inner city.

  The four districts are like the four acropolises guarding the inner city, arranged in four directions.

  Zhou Jia and the others came all the way north, so they belonged to the southern district.

South area.

  Amid the voices of gratitude from the Jiang sisters, several people walked into the core of the southern district, watching the people coming and going on the street with different expressions.

  Compared with the scattered communities outside, the people here obviously don’t have to worry about food and drink.

  Even mortals are blessed by forces behind them, with rosy cheeks and full of energy, who can satisfy their desires and find other fun.

"go!"

  Zhou Jia waved lightly:

   "Inquire about the situation here, it is best to find a way to settle here."

"Yes."

  The three brothers and sisters of Li He should be, bowed and retreated, scattered among the crowd.

  Zhou Jia led Tianhe to wander along the street, stopping slightly in front of shops, and finally found a restaurant to go in and sit down.

"Really expensive!"

  Watching Xiaoer retreat, Tianhe stuck out his tongue and said:

   "It's just two small dishes, but you have to pay for them with source crystals. Isn't that just buying paper with gold, how many people can afford it?"

   "Food is hard to come by, so it's a matter of course." Zhou Jia said slowly:

   "Just now, I took a stroll around. Do you remember how many shops there are and what kind of business they are in?"

   "A total of 63 shops." Tianhe said without thinking:

   "Most of them are shops selling exotic animal meat, as well as refining weapons, drawing talismans, selling pills, and even armor and armor."

   "Shops with exotic meat have the best business!"

"Owner."

  Her beautiful eyes blinked:

   "Do you want to do business here?"

  The powerful data processing ability made Tianhe's instinct to have a photographic memory, and it also made Zhou Jia more and more lazy to care about trivial matters.

"good."

   Picking up the tea, Zhou Jia said slowly:

   "The business of Jintiezhiqi will continue for a while. If we can set up a stall here, we don't need to travel here and there."

   "Then I suggest you stop buying exotic meat." Tianhe said.

   "Why?" Zhou Jia raised his eyes.

   "Although the business of exotic animal meat is booming now, it is absolutely impossible to last, and it is too conspicuous." Tianhe explained with his fingers:

   "On the way here, the butcher stall owner said that someone has already started raising exotic animals in captivity, and it can be done within a few years by means of a strong silver man."

   "At that time, those who should starve to death will almost starve to death. Those who can't starve to death will definitely find a way out. Selling meat will definitely not be able to maintain huge profits."

  Zhou Jia nodded silently.

Another point.

  As long as there is a caring person, they understand that people are far more important than beasts. Neither the Yugui Sect nor the Jushan Gang will allow profiteering meat to force more people to starve to death.

  For them, the more living people, the better.

on the contrary.

   Even if you rely on selling meat to make huge profits in a short period of time, it will be difficult to sustain, and you will not be able to get more benefits, just like collecting divinity.

   "If I'm right."

   Tianhe continued:

   "In a few years, the business of selling meat can be done. After a few years, only shops selling silver exotic meat can maintain a large amount of profit."

   "Other shops that sell meat need to reduce prices in exchange for volume!"

  It is just like what they have done before, except that there are many people here. What was completed in two months at the beginning, it will take several years here.

"so…"

   Tianhe finally made a conclusion:

   "Master, it's better to buy veterinary medicine. The veterinary medicine is also effective for silver beasts, and it can last longer."

   "The veterinary drug!" Zhou Jia leaned back, leaning on the back of the chair, and said slowly:

   "There are already several vendors selling veterinary drugs on the street, and I checked, and their prescriptions are better than mine, and the medicine is more effective."

   "The key is that the price is not expensive!"

  He is not a pharmacist. Alchemy and medicine are all half-way monks, so he can't compare to an expert who specializes in such techniques.

"yes?"

   Tianhe blinked. Although she has amazing data analysis ability, she cannot see certain things or hear some sounds.

"It's ok."

   "We can sell it cheaper, there will always be some people who will buy it, and you are not the master... Are there other methods that are useless?"

   Zhou Jia chuckled.

  He does have a way.

   Don't say anything else.

   Possesses the spirit rain technique, which can catalyze medicinal seeds into 700-year-old elixir in a short period of time. This alone is unmatched by others.

   And the cost is terribly low.

   "Business can be done."

  Zhou Jia tapped on the table:

   "But I don't have that much time."

   "I'm coming!" Tianhe smiled and said:

   "Master, I like doing business to make money the most. Every time I see a profit, I don't know why I get excited."

   "..." Zhou Jia had a strange expression on his face:

   "Your hobby is... very interesting."

   "Guest officer." While speaking, Xiaoer came over with a plate:

   "The dish you asked for is here."

  The two dishes presented were on palm-sized plates, the meat was cut crystal clear, and there were only a few thin slices, which made people speechless.

   "Eat."

   Zhou Jia shook his head:

   "This is silver beast meat, soaked in spiritual brew, it is very good for your practice."

   Tianhe sighed softly.

  ...

   Rooms.

  Zhou Jiaduan sat on the chair, Tianhe stood pretty behind him, and Li He, Li Xian, and Cao Xing stood in the middle with their heads down to report the news.

   "My lord."

"We inquired about it. The core of the southern district is managed by the Yuguizong. They tentatively plan to have 72 shops. Currently, a total of 63 shops are officially in operation. Another five shops have been booked, and four shops have not yet been obtained. license."

   Li He cupped his fists and said in a deep voice:

   "Fang Lu of the Ghost Control Sect has some friendship with his subordinates. I asked him to ask. At present, the sixth-rank Baiyin Qianxiang is responsible for identifying the qualifications of merchants."

   "This person regards money as his life and is extremely greedy. Fortunately, he is still careful in his work. If the Lord wants to do business, he must deal with him."

"in addition…"

  He took a deep breath and said:

   "There are a total of 1,200 households living in the core area. Each household is required to pay ten copies of silver and different beast meat every month. Each household must not exceed three people, and any excess will be calculated."

   "Oki Sect will ensure that the people who live here are absolutely safe."

   "Well..." Zhou Jia narrowed his eyes and asked slowly:

   "How do people here survive?"

   "Returning to the Lord, most of the people work for the Ghost Controlling Sect." Li Xian, who was in charge of inquiring about this issue, took a step forward and replied:

   "The Ghost Control Sect is powerful, and there is a special hunting team to go out to hunt and kill strange beasts. The gains are enough to support the disciples of our own sect, and there is still some leftover."

   "Some people are strong enough to go out to hunt strange beasts, while others condense blood pills to survive."

   "Blood pill?" Zhou Jia looked up:

   "What is this?"

   "The special pills condensed with blood essence can be added to the veterinary drug to increase the potency of the medicine. There are special places to buy them. One pill can be exchanged for ten days of meat for ordinary people." Li Xiandao:

   "Concentrating blood pills requires consumption of blood essence and life essence, so I won't do it unless it is absolutely necessary."

   Zhou Jia understood.

   Xue Dan,

   It is more advanced than they were at that time.

  However, blood is exchanged for food, and future life is exchanged for current livelihood, and an industry has already been formed.

  Ordinary people refine blood pills, while those with connections rely on the strong.

   Just a few months.

   has already found a way to continue to survive in this frozen world. I have to say that sometimes people really have unlimited potential.

   "The subordinate went outside." Cao Xing reported:

   "The Giant Mountain Gang seems to have discovered an ice mine, which produces something called Ice Origin Essence, which can block hunger and assist in cultivation."

   "It's just that the ice mine is hidden deep underground, and it's extremely cold. Even a strong silver man can't stand it, and mining it is extremely inconvenient."

   "I heard that the Giant Mountain Gang provides people with cold protection equipment and ice axes, and promises to give them food for a month as long as they mine a piece of Ice Origin Essence."

   "Some people are overwhelmed, and three out of ten die!"

   "Many people die in the ice mine every day. It is said... It is said that these dead people were used to refine blood pills to hunt strange animals."

   The room was quiet.

  The faces of Li Xian and the others were extremely ugly, and even Zhou Jia frowned.

  He has a good impression of the Golden City, but he has some resistance to the Ghost Controlling School, but now it seems that the Ghost Controlling School's approach is not lacking in grandeur.

   Jushan Gang,

   is not very human.

   "Tianhe."

"exist."

   "How much stuff do we have left?"

   "Six thousand pieces of silver meat and eight thousand source crystals. If you save a little, it will be more than enough to last for a few months."

  Zhou Jia's complexion remained unchanged, while Li He and the other three looked joyful.

  With so much meat from different beasts, even the core members of the Ghost Sect and the Giant Mountain Clan would not be able to catch up.

   It all depends on the Lord's vision!

   Along the way, Zhou Jia used Guantian to find the lairs of alien beasts from time to time, hunted a large number of alien beasts, and even acquired a faint ray of divinity.

   "Go down and rest."

   Waved his hand, Zhou Jia said calmly:

   "Go look for Qian Xiang tomorrow and take down a shop. Li He, leave this matter to you!"

"Yes."

   Li He bowed and said yes.

  *

  *

  *

  Qian Xiang has a round body, always has a kind smile on his face, and treats people kindly, but those who know him well know that this is just an appearance.

  This person is actually vicious and greedy by nature, and he even got the title of a smiling tiger.

   "You want a shop?"

  Sitting on the high chair, Qian Xiang shrugged and looked at Li He in front of him, with a smile on the corner of his mouth:

   "Do you know the rules?"

"Know."

  Li took a step forward and handed over a storage bag:

   "I hope Supervisor Qian will take care of you."

  One hundred servings of silver meat?

   Qian Xiang smiled deeper, squinted his eyes and put away the storage bag, nodded and said:

   "You came at the right time. There is still a shop that has not confirmed the quota. If it is two days later, I am afraid that there will be no chance."

Um?

  Li He raised his eyebrows.

  According to the information he inquired, there are still four places that have not yet been determined. How come the other party said that there is only one left.

   Thoughts changed in my heart, but my face remained calm:

   "Director Qian take care of you."

   "Easy to say!"

  Qian Xiang stood up:

   "Who opened the shop? What is the cultivation base? What kind of background do you have? What kind of business do you do? Don't lie, this is related to success or failure."

"This…"

  Li He hesitated for a moment, then said:

   "The shop was opened by my owner, and he was repaired to the fifth-level silver. As for the background... I don't have any background, and I do business in pills."

   "Master?" Qian Xiang narrowed his eyes:

   "No background? Fellow Daoists, don't be kidding. You are also a fourth-rank silver. If you can be called the master, how can you have no background?"

   "Not really." Li He sighed:

   "Li is Zhou Jia's servant. Zhou Jia was prosperous in the early years, but now it has long since fallen. The title of master and servant is due to the previous relationship."

"Oh!"

  Qian Xiang raised his eyebrows with a serious expression on his face:

   "The master's house is in ruins, but the fellow Taoist still doesn't give up, and still regards it as the master. Loyalty is commendable. Qian admires, admires!"

   "Don't dare." Li He shook his head:

   "Just did what was supposed to be done."

   "Well said!" Qian Xiang said in a voice:

   "This statement is appreciated, but fellow Taoists also know that the store's affairs cannot be decided by me alone, and I need the permission of the higher authorities."

   "You go back first, and I will notify you when there is news."

   "This..." Li He showed hesitation:

   "I don't know, how long do I have to wait?"

   "Soon, ten or eight days if slow, three or five days if fast, it will never be too long." Qian Xiang waved his hand first, and his face sank again:

   "Could it be that Fellow Daoist thought I would lie to you, if so, just take this thing away!"

   As he spoke, he threw the storage bag out and landed heavily.

   "Don't dare."

   Li He took a step back, avoiding the storage bag:

   "Li is looking forward to the good news."

"Um."

  Qian Xiang smiled and nodded:

   "Prepare 2,000 servings of silver exotic animal meat. This is a must for buying a stall. If you can't pay the money by then, it's not good."

  Two thousand copies?

   Isn’t it a thousand copies?

   Li He's heart skipped a beat.

   "Why..." Qian Xiang looked coldly:

   "Anything else?"

   "No, Li is resigning." Li He shook his head, muttering in his heart, and resigned.

   Waiting for him to stay away, a young man walked out of the house, first glanced at the direction Li He was leaving, and then said to Qian Xiang:

   "Father, is this the person who has been running around asking for a store in the past few days?"

"Um."

  Qian Xiang nodded:

   "My lord? You go and find out where this person came from, and tell Old Man Ge that the booth he wants has been targeted by others. If you still want it, come over and discuss it in detail."

"Yes."

  Young people should be, bow and retreat.

   "Four families..."

   When the house was empty, Qian Xiangfang picked up the money bag, rubbed it in his palm, and muttered softly:

   "There are only four of them. This business can't last long. You can only make a fortune. I wonder if old man Ge can make a starting price?"

  Thinking of this, he shook his head slightly, feeling extremely pessimistic in his heart.

  For complex shops, outsiders thought he got a good job, but in fact, in Qian Xiang's view, he was full of grievances and no one knew.

   There are quite a few shops, but Zongmen's own people account for most of them.

   There are a large number of people who follow the path of the suzerain and the elders, and they will not get the slightest benefit. There are only a dozen or twenty companies that can really get his turn to make a profit.

   If you don't make a fortune, wouldn't it be a waste of time and effort?
